Gaffer & Gear 179 - Caligri AIRTUBE 

Your show is a must watch for me and anyone who is interested in lighting.Thank you for the brilliant breakdown of each system.

Thanks for the review and your insights, as always. I'd love to see a tube light comparison video that looks at the advantages and disadvantages of the different tube lights on the market.

Thanks , Andrew! I’ve been eyeing off this for a while. Got some cool ideas on how to rig this up. Peace!

I was wondering when we’d start seeing inflatable diffusion. Seems like an obvious solution to me. However the pricing seems to be kind of ridiculously high for what it is. I guess as a small company their production scale probably makes pricing difficult. But seriously $300-$3k for what amounts to a reusable cloth balloon is a hard pill to swallow. Bigger competitors are going to copycat and eat them alive.

This is neat! Thanks for sharing

This is very cool. I’ve been using something I made which is really just soft bags for the tubes and that have worked great but this looks fantastic.

I imagine in the future it can also work with a flex LED strip, which could be less expensive than a tube light, and easier to pack away.

Awesome! 👍

Excellent! I like. 😎👍🏾🙏🏾

I've been building this sort of setup by using appropriatly shaped paper lantern lights or in some cases just loosely wrapping diffusion around the tube. but i must say i'm happy that these sort of systems are being invented.

Really nice. Thank you. I wonder how color stable that plastic will be over time.

Very nice sir thank you very much

I must say that i like your reviews, but i do miss the more informative videos about the profession itself. What i personally would love to see would be something like a video where you go through what kind of gear you would prioritize if you would be building a brand new kit from scratch today. What stands? What modifiers? What lights, and wich lights would you start with and wich would come later? :)

were you watching my searches today? I was looking for softboxes for my tubes today! this is amazing I am going to order 5 or 6 for mines

They should create some inner baffles to allow for airflow but blocking any light leaks. This seems a bit expensive for what it is though.

You are my favourite

That looks awesome. Is there anything like this you can float with helium with LED tubes

Really cool. I wonder if we'll see a Helium compatible model!

I own a few of the light socks for Titan and Helios… I do like that this one can handle 2 Titan tubes… I have found that sometimes the Titan in lightsock, which should be similar to inside this inflatable… will sometimes overheat and throttle… this one might have advantage as the tube kind of sits on the outside and perhaps vents/cools a bit better? Did you do any testing of this rig at 100% for any length of time?

What’s the benefit of this system vs a classic soft box with gird and skirt ?

Hi Andrew! For a small tabletop scene (3ft x 6 ft table). Would you recommend a 4ft tube with a caligri and skirt, or a skirted 1x 4 panel with grid? Does it matter? Thanks very much for your advice, I really love your videos!

Andrew I need your help, I do have a few westcott flex cine in my kit but I recently bought a couple 1x3 westcott panels but they dont sell the proper softbox and eggcrate anymore, so what other brand solution do you recomend to get instead. Thanks in advance

New forza 720/b just came out, will you be having a review on it soon? Looking forward to it!

Excellent job as always! Have you seen the new Aladdin Mosaic lights? Are you gonna do a review on the models? I'm pretty excited since they're RGBWW, high power (350W the 2x4 and 600W the 4x4 and the 3x6) and have DMX and lumenradio incorporated. It seems like the answer from Aladdin to the Falconeyes RX-7120, but I guess Aladdin has best build and higher price point.

Andrew, just wondering if there's a local Aussie distributor? They look great.

Will it over heat the light?

Actually im more interested in what you were using to control the titan tube

Nice Review... Have you seen that aputure Will release tubes?... I wondering if it would be a good idea to Buy a kinno housing and Buy 4 tubes for good amount of power and easy rigging and use some kind of diffusion over that... Or it would be a better idea just Buy the airtube

Nothing for the Nanlite or Apurture/Quasar tube?

Way too complicated to set up this light!

These are overpriced and useless.
